HENRY BORN, OF CLEVELAND, 'OHIO OVEN-DOOR FOR RANGES. F

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 626,047, dated. May 30,1899.

Application iiled February 3,1399. Serial No. 704,361. (No model.) y iTo a/ZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY BORN, a citizen ofthe United States of America, and a resif dent of Cleveland, inthecounty of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Oven-Doors for Ranges, of which the following isa specification.

My invention relates to improvements in ranges, &c., and particularly tothe construction and arrangement of the 'oven-doors thereof and theobject of my improvement is to combine strength and durabilityin asimple, neat, and inexpensive construction. I attain these objects inand by the construction as shown in the accompanying drawings, in WhichlFigure l illustrates a face 'View of a ran ge having a door of the kindas above alluded to. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are detail views showing theconstruction of said door and thebrackets supporting said door.

Like letters of reference denote like parts in the drawings andspecification.

Chieiy cast-iron and sheet-steel are used in the manufacture of ranges.However, for certain parts thereof, especially the pivots of thedrop-doors for .the ovens of such ranges, it is preminently desirable ornecessary that other material than cast-iron be used in order towithstand the slamming and jarring to which such doors are usuallysubjected.- In selecting suitable material for this purpose I givemalleable iron the preference for obvious reasons. Toprovide and combinesuitable pivots made of this material or an equally ductile one in adurable, neat, compact, and inexpensive manner is an essential featureof my invention.

Since oven-doors are usually made up of a sheet-steel pane A and acast-iron casing-like border B, (see Figs. 1 and 2,) I provide ananchor-plate C in connection with pivot D and interpose said platebetween the pane A and hollow border B, as seen in Figs. 2, 3, and 4,which figures respectively represent inner partial face views and atransverse sectional view of said door. At a the door-border flange b isomitted to accommodate the pivot-carrying portion c of the plate C,sothat the pivot protrudes from out of the border, substantially asshown in Figs. 2 and 3. At d d the plate C is perforated for receptionof the screw-threaded lugs e c. The latter enable attachment of the paneby means of the screws ff.

In conforming the pivot or anchor-plate C to the recess g, the lugs e e,and the opening a I provide in an expedient manner a suit able pivot forsuch doors Without materially increasing the cost of construction ofsuch doors.,`

The plate C, with pivot D, can be cast in the form as shown, and noeXtra labor or finishing is necessary in order to place the plateintermediate the pane and border ready for use.

A Doors having pivots which extend horizon tally outward from the lowercorners thereof can be mounted in brackets E, which are rigidlyconnected with the oven-fronts, substantially as shown in Fig. 1. Theside lugs h of said brackets support the doorwhen opened in horizontalposition. Pans or the like can then be placed upon said doors to affordcon venience in the handling of such cooking utensils. i

What I claim, and desire to secure by Let- HENRY BORN.

BERNHARD F. EIBLER, G. I-l. BUERMAN.
